CAN you please confirm the figure of 30,000 registered firearms in the Cardinia region.
With a population of just under 90,000 in 2014, this means one firearm for every three people. I’m hoping this is a typographical error and it’s more like 300.
Tannia McMartin,
Cranbourne.
Editor’s note: The statistics were released to the Ballarat Courier by Victoria Police’s corporate statistics unit.
